Zongman: People are in a fight and are pushed down at the beginning

"Then do as you please. It's best to teach these guys a lesson so they don't always think of attacking the elves we have sealed."

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll complete the task."

What Nangong Shuo didn't say was that according to his idea, if this plan was completed, then Dem would never dare to attack Ratatoskr again.

It is questionable whether DEM will still exist as it does today.

After dinner, Nangong Shuo couldn't wait to return to his magic studio.

He is about to start working.

First, there was a group of puppets that looked like they were from the last century, and they came in three colors: white, purple, and green.

And if someone who plays FGO sees this, he will immediately recognize the names of these three dolls. Aren’t these the three monsters: Automatic Doll, Killing Doll, and Obsolete Device?

But what Nangong Shuo wants is not something so simple.

Taking out the DEM personnel information that had been prepared long ago, Nangong Shuo nodded continuously.

"Sure enough, the NPCs in the battle world are so pretty that they could be the heroines in other worlds."

Nangong Shuo began to cover these automatic dolls, killing dolls, and outdated devices with a layer of skin that was no different from that of humans.

It will be interesting to see when we implant special instructions into them.

Nangong Shuo glanced out the window. It was already the second day.

Nangong Shuo still did not go back, but took a nap in the magic workshop.

Soon, two familiar voices came into Nangong Shuo's ears.

This is?

Among this familiar voice, one should be Yui Miku who just moved into the Elf Apartment yesterday.

As for the other one.

Nangong Shuo looked at Hoshimiya Rokuko who was holding the seal of the master, and couldn't help but recall the oppressive feeling that Hoshimiya Rokuko brought to everyone when he first appeared in the original work.

With just one wave of the Lord of Seal, countless mythical beasts, Bondski, were paralyzed and several warships were destroyed.

If these dolls of his were hit by Rokuko, they would probably be directly dismantled like those mythical beasts Bondski, with no chance of survival.

From this perspective, not activating the puppets immediately was a wise decision.

Yui Miku looked at the killing doll in front of her that looked no different from an ordinary girl, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

Yuxiao Miku didn't think that what Nangong Shuo meant by "something" was just making a group of puppets in the magic workshop.

But she still couldn't figure out what these things were.

And Hoshimiya Rokuko had no interest in this at all.

After confirming that Nangong Shuo was asleep, the two left carefully.

At this time, Nangong Shuo also had a funny idea.

Nangong Shuo first made the skins of these dolls, and then set up various programs in them to ensure that these combat mechanical dolls would not pose any harm to the elves.

As for the ones after that, haha, let them fend for themselves.

Afterwards, Nangong Shuo wrote some notes.

Looking at the workshop again, I found that the magic workshop with countless puppets standing there looked a little crowded.

So Nangong Shuo simply combined Rune magic and Leonardo da Vinci's genius magic knowledge to forcibly transform this magic workshop.

It is probably not an exaggeration to call the current magic workshop a temple.

It's the same as the one Medea set up in the Five Wars.

It’s just that Nangong Shuo doesn’t need to use human life as a source of magic power.

As for the Caster's Temple, those who understand will understand.

As long as it is inside, the caster is almost omnipotent.

One thing we all know about the Holy Grail War is that Heroic Spirits of the caster class are usually able to do something big for everyone.

Whether it was the Fourth War, the Fifth War, or the Holy Grail War, Caster had ample time to prepare.

Then Medea took away Saber, Bluebeard created the sea monster, and Avisbronn almost turned Gaia into paradise.

Chapter 234: Strange Stories about Rules and Puppet Workshop (2)

Inside the newly built building.

At this moment, Karen, who had just arrived at her new workplace, looked at the lively scene in the company and smiled proudly.

Those guys of Ratatoskr are nothing special. The only revenge they could take against Dem is burning down a building. Such a loss is as good as nothing to Dem.

As she spoke, Kallen came to the time clock machine and punched in.

Just then, a piece of paper appeared from behind the time clock.

Kallen was a little confused and pulled it out to take a look.

"You have entered the Strange Rules: Puppet Workshop. Please find the rules that can help you survive in this dangerous place. This may protect your life, or perhaps..."

Rules...weird talk?

Karen had read this type of novel before, but in this world, this type of novel was only popular for less than a year.

So Kallen hadn't actually seen much.

All I know is that this type of novel is usually... a horror story.

Kallen gave a contemptuous smile.

"Who played this prank? It's too low-level, isn't it?"

After saying that, Karen continued walking towards her workstation. However, this was a new company building after all, so it would take some time for Karen to find her workstation.

During this time, Kallen also saw several so-called "rules" and the background story here.

Background story: "This is a magic workshop where a magician makes puppets.

But one day, the magician came here as usual and wanted to adjust the parts of the puppet, but when he was about to remove the puppet's arm, the puppet suddenly made a strange sound.

The magician looked up and found that the puppet was looking at him strangely. Not only it, but all the puppets were looking at him strangely. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but their postures seemed as if they were walking towards him.

The magician felt something was wrong. He wanted to leave, but found that the exit was blocked by densely packed puppets and there was no possibility for him to leave.

After an unknown amount of time, he joined them and became one of the puppets."

To be honest, Kallen did have a bad feeling when she saw this background story.

After all, if this is the background story, then the so-called rule weirdness may really appear.

Did this magician use some strange magic base on the puppet, causing the puppet to undergo strange changes?

After all, this world is an extraordinary world, and there are still cases where operational errors cause experimental products to get out of control.

If someone really compiled the patterns of those experimental subjects into so-called rules, then this so-called rule myth would really have formed.

But who on earth would come up with something like this?

Ratatosk?

No, it's impossible. As the builder, if he did these non-compliant things, he would definitely be discovered on the same day.

I probably won’t even be able to get the balance by then.

Could it be inside DEM?

Never mind, let’s just remember the rules first.

"Rule One: They've now taken on human skin. Please confirm that the people around you are truly human. If you discover that the people around you are no longer the same, please do not alarm them. Avoiding them might be a good option."

Kallen felt her hair start to stand up just by seeing this one rule.

If this rule is correct, this is arguably the most dangerous area in the building.

After all, DEM is a large international company, and no one knows how many people there are in it.

"Rule number two: Don't turn your back on it, or you might want to take care of your health."

Can't turn your back? In other words, if they really find you, as long as you can keep watching them, they won't be able to do anything to you?

“Rule Three: The staff cafeteria is a great place. It provides you with plenty of energy.”

I don't understand this one, but according to the rules of ghost stories I've seen before, the cafeteria is definitely not a safe place.

"Rule Four: Miss Ellen, the company's strongest magician, is injured. She needs treatment, but she also needs protection."

Miss Ailian? Yes, Miss Ailian is the strongest magician. If her injuries are healed, she can easily deal with some out-of-control puppets.

She just needs protection... Is it because Miss Ellen's current condition is too bad that she has no power to resist if the puppet attacks her?

Kallen recalled the location of the infirmary and the injuries Ellen had sustained.

The infirmary is on the seventh floor, and Miss Ailian should be recuperating there now.

Yesterday, Miss Ailian was hit by an elbow, a sword, and a halberd cannon <Rhongomiant>. Judging by the time, it will take at least a few days for Miss Ailian to recover...

However, there is no need to worry about Miss Ellen's safety, as Lady Artemisia is there to take care of her.

"Rule Five: There seems to be something wrong with Artemisia's memory. If we can help her solve it, perhaps all this will end."

This rule is different from the other rules in color; it is red.

Generally, such rules are either wrong or misleading.

In other words, this rule does contain useful information, but not all of it. You need to confirm for yourself how much of it you can trust.

And there is something wrong with Artemisia's memory as mentioned in the rules.

This will be confirmed as soon as we find Lady Artemisia. As for helping her recover her memory later, maybe we can put an end to all this... Could it be that the culprit of all this is related to Artemisia?

(Not everyone in DEM knows why Artemisia joined DEM from the British SSS, but in their eyes, Artemisia's joining will only make DEM more powerful.)

"Rule Six: The infirmary is a place to treat and save lives, and only a place to treat and save lives."

Currently, Kallen only has this information, but it also mentions several locations.

The infirmary on the seventh floor, the staff cafeteria, and this whole building.

Although the final building was never mentioned, the background story did say that the puppet did not let the magician leave the workshop.

If Kallen guessed correctly...

Kallen came to the door of the building and reached out to touch the door handle. Sure enough, a red electric current flashed on the door handle.

Kallen instinctively withdrew her hand.

"As expected, we can't get out. To ensure safety, we should go upstairs to find Miss Elen and Lady Artemisia."

After saying that, Kallen came to the elevator. As soon as she entered, the elevator lights suddenly flashed.

In a trance, Kallen seemed to see some words.

Chapter 235: Strange Stories about Rules and Puppet Workshop (3)

In the elevator, the lights flickered, and Karen vaguely saw the words in the elevator.

"Rule...: Color... Green... Escape!"

Apparently, because it was written on the elevator door, most of the words that Kallen saw had been rubbed off.

However, the two keywords color and green remain on it.

Obviously, this means that anything green is dangerous and you should run away immediately.

But what are you talking about?

The elevator quickly reached the fifth floor and stopped.

"Does Ratatoskr have such a bad work ethic? The elevator in the newly built building has problems?"

Kallen was about to continue cursing when the elevator door slowly opened.

Outside are human models that look like models.

The milky white model stood outside the elevator, revealing an unconcealable weirdness.
